Well I've got some great updates on a couple of my spiders!
I'll start off with the most important news, which would be the hatching of my Tigrosa helluo's egg case!!! There are about 60 hatchlings, and all of them seem to be healthy and in perfect condition! The vast majority of them are still laying on the female's back, but 9 of them apparently were ready to venture off of their mother's back, so I took them and put them in their own, individual deli cups. They are very cute, and look basically like mini adults only with different colors, although they should look more normal after their next molt.
Here's the pictures!

That's all the updates that I'll share right now, but more will be on the way, so keep checking my blog! Until next time, goodbye!
Nice, glad to see your inverts are doing well for you! Letus know when your Eurycotis ootheca hatch, would love to see the hatchlings of that species!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I sure will post some pics when they hatch!

Update: all of the T.helluo hatchlings have moved off of the mother's back and I will likely be selling some!
